IT-ServicesWorld of Warcraft Blamed for Porn's Decline.
"The games are competition for porn. Fans jerk off to porn and are done, but you can keep playing a game." - Aiden
The porn industry, said to be recession proof and almost always on the cutting edge of technology, is now falling on hard times due to the emergence of its once greatest ally ò€“ the internet.
Believe it or not, online gaming such as World of Warcraft is named as one of the Daily Beast"s top five reasons that porn-for-profit is dying. Industry insider Aiden points out that both porn and online gaming are both forms of entertainment that appeal to similar crowds.
"It is all entertainment that you are getting involved in the same way as porn is entertainment," said Aiden. "I wonò€™t say everyone, but a lot of people in the industry play videogames. The games are competition for porn. Fans jerk off to porn and are done, but you can keep playing a game."
Aiden, who manages his wife Belladonna"s website, is no stranger to spending time in the online gaming world. "Yeah, my wife and I occasionally argue about the amount of time I spend playing," he admits.
Industry legend Ron Jeremy expressed his dislike for the internet, saying in no uncertain terms, "I just hate the internet in general."
The reason for Jeremy"s hate is because the internet is threatening an industry which he made over 2,000 movies for. "People can download stuff for free these days, so why the heck are they going to buy it? The only ones making money out of porn are the novelty companies," Jeremy said.
